Sanju Samson’s Six-Storm: Ready To Break Dhoni’s T20I Record:

Sanju Samson is incredibly close to surpassing MS Dhoni’s legendary record for most sixes by an Indian wicketkeeper in T20 Internationals, setting up a thrilling showdown in the Asia Cup 2025 for cricket fans worldwide.

Sanju Samson’s Record-Breaking Run

Sanju Samson’s explosive approach has helped him smash 36 sixes in just 14 matches as an opener for India, leaving him only 17 short of MS Dhoni’s iconic record of 52 sixes in T20Is. Samson’s attacking style and position at the top of the order make him a strong contender to break this record, especially with the advantage of facing weaker bowling attacks from UAE and Oman in the group stage.

Competition for Playing XI

Despite his form, Sanju Samson’s place in the playing XI is under scrutiny due to India’s squad depth. Shubman Gill, recently named T20I vice-captain, is favored to open with Abhishek Sharma, pushing Samson into a competitive race for a spot. If selected, his chances to break Dhoni’s sixes record rise dramatically.
